| After
years of watching every type of vessel come and go through
Sydney Harbour, I was fortunate enough to circumnavigate
the world in the three ships pictured below, in the mid
1960's. Little did I know at the time, that I would call
many of those ports of call "home" in the future.

prints below are actually Matson Line Steamship Company
menu covers and indicate their Pacific ports of call in
the 60's, Australia~New-Zealand~Fiji~Hawaii~Papeete~San

to teach me to sail, smoke cigarettes and drink beer.
They say I mastered the first two,
but never really the latter. |
